STUB-EXTRACTOR FOR WOOD-TURNING LATHES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. '791,179, dated May 30,1905.

Application filed March 20, 1903. I Serial No. 148,732.

5 tenden and State of Vermont, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Stub-Extractors for Wood-Turning Lathes, of which thefollowing is a specification and which are set forth in the drawingsforming I a part hereof.

Figure 1 is a front view of my improvement applied to a lathe, and Fig.2 is a perspective view of the stub-extractor.

As shown in Fig. 1, I provide an arm 0,

5 projecting from the head-stock of a lathe substantially parallel tothe spindle. On the outer end of arm C is pivoted the lower end of aframe A, comprising two bars and a top piece or cross-bar A". The barsof such frame !0 stand one on each side of the head-stock spindle andare slotted vertically to receive the ends of an adjustable bar D,having a curvature about such spindle. A spring S connects the frame tothe head-stock, so as to maintain 5 such frame in a substantiallyvertical position. A tool-carriage,'which is reoiprocated by a lever 5,has a standard E, to which is pivoted a hook B, which extends toward thehead-stock and over the frame A and may engage the rearwardly-projectingedge on the cross-bar A of said frame A. It will thus be seen that asthe lathe-carriage is moved to eventually engage the cross-bar A andswing .the frame A to the right, when the cross-bar will engage the endof the work or stub which is held by the head-stock spindle and detachsuch work or stub from said spindle.

Having thus described my invention, what I desire to claim is- Thecombination with a lathe of a pivoted device arranged near the end ofthe headstock spindle and a hook on a tool-carriage adapted to engagesaid pivoted device and swing it against the end of the work todisengage the latter from the spindle.
